Thanks for the patch.

Can you explain a little bit more about what issues not resetting
lossiness leads to?

mlxsw_sp_hdroom_bufs_reset_lossiness() changes buffer lossiness based on
lossiness of individual priorities, and priority-to-buffer mapping. It
needs to be called when either of these changes, such as in
mlxsw_sp_port_headroom_ets_set(), or when lossiness of a priority
changes, such as in mlxsw_sp_dcbnl_ieee_setpfc().

Since neither changes here, I would think that the call is just a NOP.
